How to Guide for happy marriage (You Wish..)
#JustSaying
As I write this went back & all the memories came back; It seems like homeopathic symptoms list – all seem to be applicable to my marriage
Though taking heart from the fact that all are on same boat
Also if taking a holistic view – all are small & nagging issues which may not be entirely justified
- Understand each other (Exasperatingly easy…)
- Show your care ( Can’t clap with one hand)
- Economic/ Social dependence shall have issues
Divorce rates increasing (compatibility, roles expectations, individualistic lives, less communication, lack of trust, perceptions)
Children are vulnerable in such transactions of Walking out of a marriage, then divorce
Signs of a troubled marriage
- Disparate interests
- Shared memories are not revisited
- Laugh/pray/live indifferent to each other
The “ wise” say thus:
- Seek out help from near & dears/ counsellors/ psychologists/ psychiatrists
- Look at how your life is organized & if anything can be changed in same
- Talk about “IT”
- Acceptance of the individuality
- Caring, vibrancy, growth : relationship
